Product Overview
This 99.85% pure extra dry toluene is meticulously processed to eliminate trace moisture, making it ideal for applications where even minimal water content could compromise results. The AcroSeal® packaging technology ensures long-term protection against atmospheric moisture absorption, maintaining the solvent’s anhydrous integrity throughout storage and use. With its exceptionally low water content (<0.005%), this grade of toluene provides reliable performance in moisture-sensitive reactions, including organometallic chemistry and air-sensitive compound handling. The high purity level minimizes potential side reactions, while the sealed packaging system prevents contamination during storage. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to verify the absence of impurities that could interfere with analytical or synthetic processes. The solvent’s consistent quality makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring reproducible results, such as chromatography and spectroscopic analysis.
FAQs
1. What makes this toluene “extra dry”?
This toluene undergoes specialized drying processes to achieve water content below 0.005%, significantly lower than standard reagent grades.
2. How does AcroSeal® packaging benefit this product?
The AcroSeal® system uses a unique closure design that prevents moisture ingress during storage and repeated use, maintaining the solvent’s dryness.
3. What’s the typical shelf life when unopened?
When stored in its original sealed container at room temperature, this toluene maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Can this be used with standard glassware?
Yes, but for best results with moisture-sensitive applications, we recommend using oven-dried glassware and working under inert atmosphere when possible.
5. What’s the difference between this and HPLC grade toluene?
While HPLC grade focuses on UV transparency and low particulate matter, this extra dry grade prioritizes minimal water content for moisture-sensitive applications.
